     35  * \brief C API: BreakIterator
     36  *
     37  * <h2> BreakIterator C API </h2>
     38  *
     39  * The BreakIterator C API defines  methods for finding the location
     40  * of boundaries in text. Pointer to a UBreakIterator maintain a
     41  * current position and scan over text returning the index of characters
     42  * where boundaries occur.
     43  * <p>
     44  * Line boundary analysis determines where a text string can be broken
     45  * when line-wrapping. The mechanism correctly handles punctuation and
     46  * hyphenated words.
     47  * <p>
     48  * Sentence boundary analysis allows selection with correct
     49  * interpretation of periods within numbers and abbreviations, and
     50  * trailing punctuation marks such as quotation marks and parentheses.
     51  * <p>
     52  * Word boundary analysis is used by search and replace functions, as
     53  * well as within text editing applications that allow the user to
     54  * select words with a double click. Word selection provides correct
     55  * interpretation of punctuation marks within and following
     56  * words. Characters that are not part of a word, such as symbols or
     57  * punctuation marks, have word-breaks on both sides.
     58  * <p>
     59  * Character boundary analysis identifies the boundaries of
     60  * "Extended Grapheme Clusters", which are groupings of codepoints
     61  * that should be treated as character-like units for many text operations.
     62  * Please see Unicode Standard Annex #29, Unicode Text Segmentation,
     63  * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/ for additional information
     64  * on grapheme clusters and guidelines on their use.
     65  * <p>
     66  * Title boundary analysis locates all positions,
     67  * typically starts of words, that should be set to Title Case
     68  * when title casing the text.
     69  * <p>
     70  * The text boundary positions are found according to the rules
     71  * described in Unicode Standard Annex #29, Text Boundaries, and
     72  * Unicode Standard Annex #14, Line Breaking Properties.  These
     73  * are available at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/ and
     74  * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/.
     75  * <p>
     76  * In addition to the plain C API defined in this header file, an
     77  * object oriented C++ API with equivalent functionality is defined in the
     78  * file brkiter.h.
     79  * <p>
     80  * Code snippets illustrating the use of the Break Iterator APIs
     81  * are available in the ICU User Guide,
     82  * http://icu-project.org/userguide/boundaryAnalysis.html
     83  * and in the sample program icu/source/samples/break/break.cpp
